About Us
I've always loved to cook and whenever I host an event or get-together, it's important to me that the food and drink I serve isn't just good, but great. For me it is a way to show how much I appreciate the people I care about.
Whether sharing a conversation over a bottle of wine and small plates, a backyard BBQ on a sunny afternoon, or an intimate dinner party, some of the best memories I've built with family and friends have been celebrated with food.
Private Table evolved out the desire to not only share what I love doing with others, but to help them create those moments that turn into the kinds of amazing memories that never fail to bring a smile.
I'm Erik Van Pelt, and I look forward to cooking for you.
